Today was pretty weak as far as classes go. The morning and evening lessons on Friday are both taught by Obata-sensei. She's a sweet old lady who smiles all the time and has a lot of energy for her age. It's just that her teaching method is to make every student repeat things one at a time. So while Tsuji-sensei can burn through the daily six kanji in a little over one hour, Obata-sensei takes almost two whole hours. We only just barely cracked the text book before lunch. She did win brownie points in the afternoon by having us spend the last thirty minutes or so writing and reading a 日記 (Nikki - journal).
We spend so much time doing assignments that require us to feel in the blanks or just repeat some blah blah conversation between one of the PC characters in the book like Mr. Lee. With this assignment we actually had a chance to use all the grammar we've been reviewing, break in some of the vocabulary, and make practical sentences that apply to our own lives. She even took them up to correct our mistakes. It would be cool if it could become a regular assignment that we could just drop off with her each Friday when she teaches.
After school I just came home to kick back and relax for a while. I've been studying pretty much non-stop every hour of the day for the last two weeks so I'm going to rot my brain out with games and tv tonight. I'll pick it back up tomorrow. For anyone who has a PS3, Crash Commando has turned out to be very decent. It's probably the best downloadable content I've played so far and the multiplayer mode is pretty packed, unlike Worms and some of the other games I've picked up.
Nothing is worse than playing for a game that focuses on multiplayer action and finding out that the millions of other PS3 owners don't bother to play it. A perfect example of this is the pirate game, Age of Booty. I have literally never hooked up to an on line game. Trying to host or wait in a lobby is a waste of time because you never see more than one other person. I think that Sony should refund games that bomb like that.
